Ecosse Moto Works is renowned for its exquisite and exclusive motorcycles and its latest creation in the Titanium Series the Ti XX is billed as the most expensive motorcycle in the world. The bike commands an eye-popping price tag of $3 lakh, which translates to Rs 1.64 crore!

The motorcycle is powered by a 2,409cc billet aluminium powerplant and transmits 228PS of power to the rear wheel. Carbon fibre has been used abundantly on the bike to keep the weight low and the saddle has been handcrafted by posh Italian leathermaker Berluti.

If that wasn't enough, its grade-9 titanium exhaust pipes have a ceramic media shot-preened finish on them. To keep the Titanium Series FE Ti XX highly exclusive, only 13 units would ever be made.

NCR M16

Price: $232,500 (Rs 1.27 crore)

How to make a bike worth nearly quarter of a million dollars? Simple… by taking a donor bike which is already expensive. Boffins at NCR took the already bonkers MotoGP bike for the road, the Ducati Desmosedici RR and went berserk with it resulting in the creation of the NCR M16.

The bike has been put on a diet that would make any size zero model burn with envy as the machine weighs just 144kg (dry weight). To attain this, M16 features a carbon fibre frame, swingarm and wheels, along with ceramic matrix composite brakes, and specially tuned Ohlins to lay the power down nicely on the tarmac.

The engine has also been tuned extensively and delivers over 203PS of power on the rear-wheel. The final cost? $232,500 ($72,500 for donor bike, plus $160,000), which equates to Rs 1.27 crore.

NCR Macchia Nera

Price: $2,25,000 (Rs 1.23 crore)

The Macchia Nera or Italian for 'black spot' is designer Aldo Drudi's ultimate expression of a motorcycle moulded with carbon fibre and titanium. Like most NCR machines, the donor engine for the Macchia Nera is also a Ducati, but this mill is a special one as it is a Ducati 998R testastretta engine from the 2003 World Superbike season with a power rating of 182PS.

Like all NCR creations, keeping the weight as low as possible was the main criteria and it was achieved by its expert craftsman, who built the gorgeous frame from titanium and a carbon fibre tank with a special one of a kind titanium fuel cap.

By employing such lightweight materials, the Macchia Nera's weight was restricted to just 135kg. NCR wanted the bike to go as fast as it looks and to achieve that it employed an Evoluzione Slipper Cluch, Ohlins suspension in front and rear, ultra-exclusive MotoGP Brembo brake system with 320mm double disks (centrally vented) and magnesium wheels.

All this craftsmanship and performance comes at a steep price, though, which is $2,25,000 or Rs 1.23 crore!

MTT Y2K Superbike

Price: $1,75,000 (Rs 96 lakh)

If a normal bike builder wanted to create a fast bike he would mostly go in for a twin-cylinder or an in-line four engine and tune its nuts out to extract as much power from the mill as he can. But Ted McIntyre of Marine Turbine Technologies thinks slightly differently. Instead of plonking a normal internal combustion engine, he installed a Rolls-Royce-Allison Model 250 turbo shaft engine from a helicopter to power his behemoth!

The stock engine pumps out an astounding 324PS of power but if you want to go full bonkers, there is the Streetfighter variant with an insane power output of 426PS and a torque rating of 678Nm! All these numbers mean the Y2K boasts a top whack of 365km/h which can put many hypercars to shame.

To translate all that power on the road the bike uses a 240mm Pirelli Diablo rear tyre and instead of a standard review mirror as found on all motorcycles, the Y2K employs a rear-mounted camera with LCD color display on the instrument cluster. Speed and the world’s most powerful production bike comes at a price and the Y2K commands a cool $1,75,000 which equates to Rs 96 lakh.

Icon Sheene

Price: $1,72,000 (Rs 94.39 lakh)

Icon is a brand that has a longstanding reputation in the racing world so it was exciting when they decided to build a tribute bike to legendary British rider Barry Sheene. For the tribute bike they utilised a 1,400cc Suzuki mill, which was mated with a Garrett turbocharger running at 0.4 bar pressure, resulting in a final power output of an incredible 253PS.

It features a custom made tubular aluminum frame, a fuel tank made from hand-beaten aluminum and hand-laid carbon fibre body panels. Each bike features a hand-painted image of a playing card held by a bikini-clad girl; each will be different as there are 52 cards in a pack and that's how many Icon Sheenes are being made.
